Someone once told us (don’t ask who) that the people we love distract us best.
So… run away from your house.
But let’s be honest—bosses can also be hot on your neck at work 😭
So what’s the solution?
Run away from your office too.

Can we trend Masobe here on twitter. Read a book today and #Masobeapp, #Masobebooks and #Masoberead ?
What @masobebooks did is solve most of the concerns the literary scene has highlighted overtime. Also, I look forward to then strengthening that app by preventing screenshots.
If you're in Kano and has been looking for a conducive place to read, work or reflect then we are the answer.
Come work at The Third Space.

Mrs Osmond by John Banville
A bold and beautifully written sequel to The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James.
Banville revisits Isabel Archer after her disastrous marriage to Gilbert Osmond, imagining what happens next.
Trapped in a suffocating union and betrayed by those she trusted, Isabel must decide whether to submit to her fate or reclaim her independence — in a world that offers women very few choices.
Sharp, satirical, and deliciously cynical, this is Spark at her finest — exposing vanity, deception, and the fragile line between belief and absurdity.
Short. Clever. Unsettling in the best way.

Heart of Darkness & Other Stories by Joseph Conrad
This powerful collection brings together some of Conrad’s most celebrated works, led by Heart of Darkness — a haunting novella that follows Charles Marlow’s journey up the Congo River in search of the enigmatic Mr. Kurtz.
The accompanying stories further showcase Conrad’s mastery of atmosphere and psychological insight, often set against the vastness of the sea or in distant colonial outposts.
As the voyage unfolds, what begins as a physical expedition becomes a profound exploration of imperialism, moral ambiguity, and the darker depths of the human soul.
